HELP! Arkansas needs a HP boat Mechanic
 

No HP service near Little Rock? any one know of someone qualified to work on Bravos, Big block superchargers and such in this state?

Don't know anyone here. The closest I know would be around Grand Lake or contact Brad Smith in Joplin through the E-dock guys. He might know of someone closer. You would think there would have to be someone in or around the Memphis area (2.5 hrs) which would be closer than Joplin or Grand (4 hrs).

Canyon Marine in Oklahoma City is where we do the motor work and drive work and we have a boat shop close to you in Tahlequah, Oklahoma which is very close to Lake Tenkiller.
I sent you a private message with my contact information

Got one in Middle TN. Young Performance Marine.

WOW! cannot get over that no one has high preformance service in Arkansas. Lots of go fast boats here, especialy near Hot Springs. I Might have to go to OK or TX for help-James 501 590-4745

Have you called the SeaRay dealer in Hot Springs? They will be able to work on Bravos at least. Might be able to do some motor work but I would be warry(sp?) of letting them touch anything over stock Mercs.

Thanks everyone for keeping me posted on the possibilities. I have been taking my boat to Houston for service .but it is a 8 hour drive each way. I'm thinking there are lots of go fast boats on LOTO so may try there! I thought surely there must be a displaced mechanic stuck here in Little Rock needin some easy work for big bucks! These guys typically charge 80-100 bucks per hour- WOW

where are you located in LA (lower Arkansas)?

El Dorado, been here now for 3 years but the boat's still on Grand. Have considered moving it to Ouchita but all we ever hear is we have to go on the never ending waiting list b/c there are no slips available. Plus, we have the same concerns on mechanical issues. Not sure if there are any good mechanics around the marinas at Ouchita. Right now we have a full service shop at the SeaRay dealer on Grand that is fully staffed through the weekends. But the boat is 7 hours away one way. Who needs a mechanic when you never use the boat!!!:hitfan:

Word of mouth around here. We keep them so busy they don't have time to advertise. :D

Tell him I sent you.
